Thanks for sharing the photos.

I propose outing in the early morning as ... afternoon may have alot of pple on the bridge & the sun may be an "kill" us by the time we reach there (a few hrs walk)...


Drinking water is impt ... I brought my tripod with me the other time - it is abit siong.. reminds me of road march ... :embrass:

The Panasonic forum organised an outing to the TreeTop on 16/04.
We had great time.
Icarus got the cute little sleeping owl shot. Certainly worth visiting for.

If u intend to bring children, prepare to carry them along the way or have plenty of stops.
Once u step onto the bridge, there's no U-turn back and the journey back to Ranger station is further, compare to the distance from Ranger station to the bridge.;p
And DRINK PLENTY OF WATER and clear your bowel at the Ranger station. That's the only 'legal' toilet available (if u know wat i mean).

:thumbsup: good advice.

The trip can be made more interesting for the fit:

a. Drive up to entrance near SICC, unload and driver park the car at Venus Drive -the legal carpark.
b. Visit both the tree-top walk and the jelutong tower, and exit at Lornie road after the golf course.
c. Take a bus back to Thomson road.

For the calorie burners....

d. Loop around the Macritchie reservoir on leg back to Venus drive - not for children. Youngest child to accomplish this is 9 years old.
or
e. After the tree top walk, hike to Bukit Timah hill and take a bus/taxi back.
- youngest child to accomplish this is 6 year plus. Interesting, tough for young children & must have water top up break at the range station.

Went with daugther (2+ then), father- and mother-in-law (59 both), 6kg+ of photo gear and another 3kg of food and water. Started at 9am at Macritchie Park entrance near Braddell road, reached the bridge at noon time (hot). Daughter carried 60% of the way. Nice tree top scenery, but the neighbouring trees are all way too far out for close-ups. Hike under shade is pretty OK (breeze and shade temperature) but humid and hot when the sun hits. After the suspension bridge, walked another 2 hours and escaped via SICC, then took taxi to meet wife and son for a late lunch at 2:30pm.

As said earlier, start early, bring water (1 L bottle, can refill at ranger station), bring rain shelter, dress light.

Hi to all, I'm really really sorry about tomorrow but I can't make it. My flight today was cancelled (engine problem) and I can only reach Singapore tomorrow. Maybe you guys and still go ahead.
